Write it on the document
Client details go in the Bill To block. Switch templates from the dock; export JSON when you need a portable copy.

Taxes and totals handled
Taxes apply to the taxable lines, discounts and deposits show in the totals, and the balance due is calculated as you type.

PDF, share link or JSON
Export a vector PDF from the print dialog, copy a self-contained share link, or send a JSON file — none of it touches a server.
What gets in the way
Freelancers invoice often, for varied work, to clients who each want something slightly different on the document. The tool should get out of the way: keep your details on the page, do the arithmetic and produce a PDF the client's finance team can process without a follow-up email.
SimpleInvoice does that in the browser. There is no account and no server — the current document and editor data live in your browser's local storage, and the PDF comes out of the print dialog with real vector text. How to invoice as a freelancer covers the routine; this page shows how the app fits it.
Every client wants something different
One needs a PO number, another wants the invoice in their language, a third pays by a service that needs its own payment line. Rebuilding a Word file for each is where mistakes creep in.
Numbering and totals by hand
Duplicate numbers and arithmetic slips are the two errors accounts departments catch — and each one restarts the payment clock.
Subscriptions for a few invoices a month
Paying monthly for software to send a handful of invoices, and handing a third party every client's details in the process, is a poor trade for a one-person business.

Invoicing tips for freelancers
Small habits that shorten the gap between finishing the work and receiving the money.
- Agree terms and ask for the PO before you start; put both on the invoice.
- Take a deposit on projects longer than a couple of weeks and show it as amount paid on the final invoice.
- Invoice the day the work is delivered, not at month end.
- Use one continuous number sequence for all clients — numbering best practices explains why.
- Keep your own due-date list and send the first reminder within three days of the due date.
- Export the invoice JSON before replacing a document you may need later.
Questions freelancers ask
Is it free for freelancers?
Yes, entirely. There is no plan, trial or limit — the app runs in your browser and has no servers to pay for. The FAQ explains the trade-offs.
Where do I enter client details?
Type them into the Bill To block on the invoice. There is no separate client list — each document is filled in by hand.
Does it handle VAT or sales tax?
You add the taxes that apply to you with a label and rate; the app applies them to taxable lines and shows them separately. Whether you must charge tax is a question for your accountant — see tax basics.
